Darkness

i used to be afraid of the dark
Didn’t we all?
Until I grew up and grew smart
Did I realize how small
My fear really is
Because now darkness is my mistress
And I her faithful servant

I can’t explain why I choose
To live life in shadow
In hate
In the dark
Maybe I’m just so used to it
That I don’t know where else to start
my day then without a ray
Of light
Of hope
Of joy

People say it’s not healthy to live this way
To love nothing but ones one own blood
But today I will stay and let that same shade
Seep to the ground in the mud

I live for the night, that’s the time i feel right
To be who I truly am
But during the day, I just smile and stay
A wolf inside of a lamb

So with the darkness I doth choose
To end each day with a cut and a bruise
And repeat the lines of a song:
“it’s not healthy it’s what makes you right”
Those are the words I live by at night
Because I am in love with the dark.
